With what should I use ansbile?
Look into AWX as an alternative to Tower. If you just want better reporting on runs, check out ARA or callback plugins.
- Show HN: ARA Records Ansible and makes it easier to understand and troubleshoot
-
Ansible-Semaphore vs Ansible AWX
Also worth considering is ARA for playbook reporting, and then whatever you want for orchestration (Jenkins, Azure Devops, Rundeck, etc).
-
Zabbix to monitor ansible
Why not use ara?
-
How would I get a list of IP addresses of failed hosts and details?
For general recording of playbook activity with a web dashboard, ARA works really well.
- Planning on writing a callback plugin - is there a unique variable to identify a particular play being run?
-
A way to log which user excuted a playbook
If you don’t want any UI / access control then you can also look at ARA - https://ara.recordsansible.org This works as a callback plugin to capture the job run data.

Benchmarking ansible-core 2.11 vs 2.14 and python 3.9 vs 3.11 along with ara's database backends
I'm not sure how to interpret running 100 debug messages (https://github.com/ansible-community/ara/blob/master/tests/integration/benchmark_tasks.yaml) into real life performance. Mitogen's Benchmark used either 100 times a "hostname" command on the target machine (https://github.com/mitogen-hq/mitogen/blob/master/tests/ansible/bench/loop-100-items.yml) or running the DebOps project (https://github.com/debops/debops-playbooks/blob/master/playbooks/common.yml) for some sorta real-world module usage.

Best options for monitoring Ansible deployment times
There has been discussions about a prometheus exporter for monitoring, metrics and eventually fancy graphs in grafana but work on this has not started yet: https://github.com/ansible-community/ara/issues/177

The Bullhorn #115 (Ansible Newsletter)
There is a community vote on a new policy for community.general on which ansible-core versions will be supported in new major releases. Basically support for ansible-core versions will be dropped if they were EOL at least a few weeks before the major release. For the upcoming community.general 8.0.0, that means that it will drop support for ansible-core 2.11 and 2.12 and require at least ansible-core 2.13. Details can be found in the associated issue.

The Bullhorn #114 (Ansible Newsletter)
As mentioned in The Bullhorn #113, we've opened a community / steering committee vote on declaring ngine_io.exoscale an effectively unmaintained collection and remove it from the Ansible 10 community package. Since then, there has been a new release. As a result, the vote ended with the decision to keep the collection in the community package.

The Bullhorn #107 (Ansible Newsletter)
Hi everyone. We're working on making Ansible community documentation a separate project to ansible/ansible. The purpose is to benefit the Ansible community by decoupling community doc initiatives from core release cycles. This change also removes the Ansible Core team as the gate for other doc related efforts that will meet community needs, such as putting source content for docs.ansible.com under the direct control of the Steering Committee. Overall this change is a first step towards providing greater access and ownership of docs.ansible.com to the Ansible community.

The Bullhorn #106 (Ansible Newsletter)
Looking for your feedback on making community docs a separate github project to ansible/ansible, starting with moving /docs from ansible/ansible to ansible/ansible-documentation. See this issue for details.

The Bullhorn #105 (Ansible Newsletter)
It looks like the netapp.elementsw collection is effectively unmaintained. According to the current community guidelines for collections, we consider removing it in a future version of the Ansible community package. Please see Unmaintained collection: netapp.elementsw for more information or to announce that you're interested in taking over the maintenance of (a fork of) netapp.elementsw.
-
The Bullhorn #104 (Ansible Newsletter)
The netapp.aws collection is considered unmaintained and will be removed from Ansible 10 if no one starts maintaining it again before Ansible 10. See the removal process for details on how this works.
-
The Bullhorn #103 (Ansible Newsletter)
As mentioned in The Bullhorn #98, we consider netapp.aws an effectively unmaintained collection. Therefore, we've opened a community / steering committee vote on removing it from the Ansible 10 community package.
